I wish I could tell you this was a joke. It’s not. These “power bands” come from the brilliant mind of Doug Giles and are available for $5 a piece……or $150 for a case of 50. Talk about a bargain! Don’t know who he is? Imagine that Mark Driscoll and Glenn Beck had a baby, and then that baby was possesed by Satan and developed a love for Toby Keith music……meet Doug Giles. We’ll be posting much, much more from... Read more

Places don’t get much more “Fundie” than Bob Jones University, and luckily for us they have a huge publishing arm that churns out textbooks and curriculum for Christian schools. The picture above is a scanned picture of a page from their 4th grade science textbook, appropriately named Science 4. “So you wanna know how electricity works, kid? Well, too bad- it’s a mystery.

See that baby up there? He may look cute, but don’t be fooled- he’s nothing more than a puppet being used by demonic forces. Don’t believe me? Just ask Kimberly Daniels, who writes for one of Pat Robertson’s websites. She wrote an entire manifesto on the satanic practice that is Halloween in this article. I’m posting her words from the article below, with my commentary interjected in bold italics. The Danger of Celebrating Halloween Halloween—October 31—is considered a holiday in... Read more

Rewind a scant 600 years, and modern science doesn’t yet exist. Men and women live and die in squalor and filth, largely ignorant of the germs that ravage their bodies and of the natural laws that govern the universe, instead imploring an alleged supernatural force to help them navigate...

For me, one of the biggest problems facing the faith today is a lack of integrity. I’m not talking about the total lack of integrity in the pedophile priest scandals, although that is clearly a major problem. And I’m not implying that we are all a bunch of liars trying to trick people into believing in Jesus. But I do think we are, by and large, lacking intellectual integrity in our faith. In other words we make claims about the... Read more

The Religious Parallels of the Jon Stewart Rally
Last night on the Daily Show with Jon Stwewart, Stew-Beef himself announced that he would be holding his own Beckesque rally in Washington, D.C. He’s calling his event “The Rally to Restore Sanity.” Last night he explained that 70-80% of Americans don’t actually think that Obama hates this country OR that the tea partiers are lunatics … it’s just that the other 20-30% are the ones who make, and often report, the news. His rally is to move the political... Read more
